Room was clean and comfortable. Just a few walkable blocks to the old downtown Main Street district where there are many bars and restaurants and thrift stores. The street was closed to traffic for a few blocks, but clearly it needs more redevelopment to make it more attractive to tourists.

Friendly staff, beautiful grounds around the pool and breakfast area outside. Nice buffet breakfast with eggs, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, bagels, juice, pastries. We asked for a quiet room, and it was mostly very quiet, except for an occasional noise from the train going by nearby, but it wasn't late so wasn't an issue. I also would suggest on your checkout day that you put a Do Not Disturb sign on your door until you are ready to check out. Checkout time is noon, but the maid tried several times to knock and come in while we were still getting dressed, etc. Easily fixed by putting a sign next time. Overall this is a great place to stay.
